This study proposes a class of hybrid isolation systems constructed by combining Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) with Rubber Bearings (RBs) or Lead (LRBs) for mitigating the seismic responses in bearing-supported bridges under strong earthquakes. Firstly, two different (RB–BRB and LRB–BRB) were preliminarily designed based on energy-conservation concept case bridge Y-shaped piers, which can m...

The bearing plates used in plate load test for highway engineering are typically rigid. However, due to limitations obtaining the accurate distribution of compressive stress at bottom plate, there is often a significant deviation between measured subgrade resilient modulus and actual condition. To address this issue, flexible can be obtain more modulus. In study, we use variance degree mean qua...
